publishedyear: 2015 journal: Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. abstract: We consider a class of vectorial integrals with linear growth, where, as a key feature, some degenerate//singular behavior is allowed. For generalized minimizers of these integrals in BV, we establish interior gradient regularity and --- as a consequence --- uniqueness up to constants. In particular, these results apply, for $1<p<2$, to the singular model integrals
